What Does Swelling Around The Rim Of The Penis Indicate?

I have swelling around the rim of my penis. And two small bumps on the underside of my penis near the head of it. Where the swelling is looks like a rash. I was give pills that help with virus and it helped for the 10 days I was taking it. But the swelling never went away.

Hello,

The swelling around rim of penis with small bumps on the underside of penis indicate possible herpes infection at first instance and if there is total inability to retract the foreskin, paraphimosis can be second possibility as well. You can upload the photo pictures of the current condition if no objection and convenient for you in follow up conversation. Till that time, application of ice with antibiotics, anti inflammatory medications will help to resolve the issue to some extent.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
